There's so much to say about this. For one, it shows a little of what kind of society the US was: much simpler and more family related. I used to wish that I lived during that era when I was younger.

I also realize that these kinds of family portrayals were not just exaggerations that I saw on old TV programs. That era was truly different but I think that came to an end in the mid 60s when society began disintegrating and the family structure split apart. It is a little sad to see that.
